Wow, that is really really really wrong.

I'm sorry, but anyone that would donate money to an obviously immature couple that by all rights should not be reproducing is incredibly stupid. I'm all for right to life, but thats comes off as holding conservative pro-lifers hostage.

Its cyber pandering. Give-us-money-or-we-kill-our-baby. :?

*sigh*

I agree. No names? Basic site? No ability to even comment, let alone a contact email that is very vague. I call scam.

IF this were even a true story, you'd have to be pretty naive to give money to some young kids who got pregnant when they weren't ready.

Stupid scam artists.

EDIT: I'm going to leave my views out of this, but the comments above are right on the money. Not only is it a scam, but if it wasn't a scam, it was their decision, and they have to make due with what they have.

I'm with you guys, just even the thought of doing something like that is rediculous. That is if infact, this isn't a scam of some sort. Seriously, how many of us parents were finacially stable enough to have a child when we did? I know I sure as hell wasn't. I was 16 years old when I had my daughter, but here I am 7 1/2 years later raising my child on my own with no child support doing the absolute best that I can. I for one am pro-choice on the abortion issue, but there are many people out there in the world that cannot have children. If I felt as though I absolutely could not give a child a proper life, I would give the joy of a baby to another family that could give my child the things he/she needed. Just the thought of asking people for donations for something like this is obsurd in my opinion. I could go on, but wont.

I really didn't comment cause I didn't want to start a huge debate.
I am against what they are dong, if it is real.
Honestly I think it is some sort of scam.

I'm gonna say even the donation total is a scam. I can't believe there is someone dumb enough to fall for this.
